should i use memstick or memstickserial image?I've been using the nano-2.11-pre-i386 image, writing it via a card reader, then putting it in the apu.
You could boot from USB memstick and install to the SD card if you want, but I haven't tried it.
Edit- If you choose to install from memstick, use the -serial version… -
Serial memstick (choose the Embedded kernel when installing) is the best bet for an mSATA.
For SD, you'll probably want NanoBSD but you'll need to make the kern.cam.boot_delay adjustment since the SD reader appears to the OS as a USB device even though it's internal.
You may also want these changes if you're on NanoBSD: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Boot_Troubleshooting#NanoBSD_on_Newer_Hardware
It may be time to lock this thread and start new ones for individual issues/suggestions. This has been going for a long time and has meandered through many distinct topics.

does this mean i have to still use a card reader and plug to the APU USB even there is a SD slot on board?
No, this just means the built-in SD card reader is attached to the USB bus internally.
Edit: jimp beat me to it.

Yes, I agree. A new board has come (in 2014 not 2013) and so the original point of this topic is fulfilled. It would be easier if people post specific issues or help/doc with installing and using it in different threads. Feel free to lock it.

Locking the topic, thanks for all the information everyone!
If you wish to add something unique then start a new thread about a specific topic regarding the APU.
